Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse if it's 8m and 15m?

Answer 1

In this case the answer is very simple. .

Step 01:

Data

side a = 8m

side b = 15m

c = hypotenuse = ?

Step 02:

Pythagoras Theorem Formula

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

c² = a² + b²

c ² = (8m)² + (15m)²

c ² = 64m² + 225m²

c ² = 289m²
